LOL, I haven't been back to this thread in a while and have only just spotted this comment - sorry Neil!

The one I'd love to own, though, would be Loo-Kee, just because he's such a "cartoon-centric" character!

Take care...

Are you fed up with the problems you've been experiencing buying from MattyCollector.com?

I remember that as a youngster I liked him and thought he was a cute character that added charm to the morals section at the end of episodes but viewing the series with adult eyes & perspective...that's a different matter. He does have an irritating voice but no more so than Orko's voice.

He's not my favourite character, but I like him. I thought he was cute and sweet. "Loo-Kee Lends a Hand" was always one of my fave eps. It always stuck out in my mind and I remembered it and I saw it after 15 years just recently. I loved how someone out side of the usual known 7 found out the secrets as the ep went on.
Even now I still look for him when watching an ep. If I don't see him I look again at the end of the ep.
Some people think he was childish. Ummm... maybe because he was a child of his race and was meant to act childish. He's also less childish than some adults I know.

My only regret about his character, though, is that it meant that we'd get no Bow, Glimmer, or She-Ra (except one) delivering a moral at the end of the story. I think that it could have made for a tighter protagonist cast if they were giving morals at the end of the story talking about one another (as Man-At-Arms, Teela, and He-Man did).

To this day, I honestly think that this is the big edge that He-Man has on his sister as far as remembering the good vibes of the 80s are concerned. If you look at youtube, you'll find a few tributes to He-Man's wonderfully delivered morals (even one used to lend advice to President Bush - lol), but She-Ra only helped deliver a moral once (the sexual harassment PSA).

"I'm not just crying for Hordak. I'm crying for the saddest thing I know - a wasted life. To be given that most precious gift - the gift of living, to do with as we choose. I'm crying, because this man has chosen to throw it away, and when he goes, nobody will care..." - She-Ra ( "My Friend, My Enemy")

When I first got the DVDs I couldn't stand him, and that screechy voice, but he's grown on me to "okay" now.

Like Canadian_He-Man said though, it does annoy me that Bow, Madame Razz, Adora, She-Ra, Scorpia, Leech, and Shadow Weaver never got to deliver any of the morals (okay so the Horde would totally not deliver morals, but I just think it'd be cool and funny, lol).

not my favorite character ....when I watch dvds I always skip his moral lessons ....so boring .....and that voice 2 !!!!
but I reckon lookee lends an hand its such a cool episode from POP ......even if the fact that loo kee discover real identity of she-ra and he-man its just too much ....I mean.....isnt loo kee always hiding in self places similar to the ones useful for she-ra transformation and so he should know adora/she-ra true identity !!!!!
I know its weird !!!!

"The most powerful man in the universe...""Where hope seems lost...""I was summoned on the future...""A hero shall emerge to protect Eternia..."
Whats next ?

He's not my favorite character, but I don't mind him. He's just another mechanic to help kids relate the moral of the episode and make it feel like its a casual conversation between friends instead of a seemingly lecture from He-Man, She-Ra or Man-At-Arms. Besides, as a precursor to "Where's Waldo?" it only begs the question (intentional pun here): where would "Where's Waldo?" be without Loo-Kee? Heh, I'm a poet and didn't know it.

I'll let you guys in on a basket of "fish" I caught a long time ago when I was in a "Justice League Heroes" phase. In my idea for an MOTU Dungeon Slasher/RPG video game, I'd utilize Loo-Kee as a means to unclock extra content in each level. It'd be exactly like "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" used the impossible-to-find Black Panther and Daredevil figures as the key to unlock those two playable characters.

I'll post that business in a different thread when I'm ready. So, to answer the question, Loo-Kee's cool with me. Even if my wife and I jokingly call him a Rainbow Brite rip-off fudda mucka at the start of every moral. Honestly, there really aren't any characters in this mythos that I have a problem with... except Bow. After watching all of POP, I've learned to tolerate him. His costume still looks ridiculous.
